WINDOW-SASH.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of' Letters Patent No. 775,858, dated November Application tiled January 18, 1904. Serial No 189,509. (No model.)

Be it known that I. CHARLES M. RHODES, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Steubenville, in the county of Jefferson l and State of Ohio, have invented certain new I and useful Improvements in IVindow-Sashes, of which the following' is a specification, reference beingl had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvementsin window-sashes. and l has for its object to provide novel means where I by a sash may be easily and quickly removed I from its frame without removing the strips of the frame or in any manner injuring the same.`

A further object of my invention is to provide means carried by the frame and the sash whereby the sash may be readily swung from its position within the frame to facilitate the cleaning' of the glass when desired.

Brieiiy described, my improved `sash comprises two sections which are secured together by any suitable means, whereby they may be readily operated as one sash, and in providing' these sections I cut away a portion of one side of the sash, this portion being adapted to remain in the frame, while the other portion is removed, at which time the cut-away portion may also be removed. On the other side of the sash I provide hing'e members which are adjustably mounted within the frame of the window and are adapted to engage the socket members carried by the sash, so the same may be readily swung outwardly from its position in the frame of the window.

The invention further consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

lIn describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanyingI drawings, forming' a part of this application, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, in which- Figure l is a view of a portion of a frame, showing my improved sash placed therein. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of one of the sashes. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal sectional-view of the same, i

Fig. et is a frag-- grooves provided therefor in the frame and 6o adapted also to be engaged by toothed wheels of an operating mechanism mounted in the frame, (not shown herein,) but of such a form as shown and described in my application filed February 28, 1903, Serial 145,268, the present invention being designed particularly for use in connection with operatingI mechanism of the character stated.

The reference-numcral 2 indicates the body portion of the sash, and upon its one side is 7o cut away, as indicated at 3, this cut-away portion forming the detachable member, w hich is secured to the body portion of the frame by means of the screw-bolt A, which is carried by the body portion 2. able member is recessed, as indicated at 5, to receive a nut 6, and after this nut has been placed within the recess a plug 7 is driven therein,whercby the recess will be closed and the nut prevented from becoming loose or 8O disengaged from this detachable member. Through this member I provide the apertures 8 in horizontal alinement with the apertures carried by the nuts, and adapted to pass through these apertures are the bolts 4, car- 8 5 rying upon their outer ends the washers 9 and the square shank portion l0, over which is adapted to be placed a suitable key. or wrench, whereby these bolts may be readily rotated.

to engage or become disengaged from the nut 9c 6. In the body portion 2 of the sash I provide the annular recesses ll, in which are placed the cups l2, these cups having' an aperture formed in their base, which is adapted to register with an aperture l4,drilled in the 95 body portion of the sash and registering' with the body por- 7 is a detail perspective view 55 The detachremoved, so the body .the stub-shafts 22 the aperture 8,t`ormed in the detachable member. On the opposite side ot'- the sash I provide the socket members 15 ofthe hinge, and in the frame ot' the window I provide the recess 16 and slots 17 and 18 to receive the other member 19 or' the hinge and the adjusting mechanism` which consists of a strip S20,having slots Q1 formed therein, which slots extend diagonally across the strip, and adapted to engage in these slots are the stub-shafts 29., which are carried'by the hinge members 19, that extend through frame. On the lower end of the strip 2O I provide a handle 28, which extends outwardly at right angles to the strip, this handle being adapted to extend through the slot 18 of the frame and through the slot 29 of the plate 30.

IVhen it is desired to remove the sash, a vhey or wrench is inserted within the cup 11 to engage over the square shank 10 of the bolt L1, and when the same is rotated it is disengaged from the nut 6 and may be readily portion of the sash may be swung from the frame. To accomplish this,the socket members 15 of the hinge are engaged over the members 19, as illustrated in Fig. 1 or' the drawings, the window being slightly raised, whereby the same may be swung` outwardly to clear the basestrip ofthe frame. Then it is desired to raise the window or close the same entirely, the handle 28 is pulled downwardly, whereby will be forced to the other side of the strip 20 through the medium of the slots 21, thus causing the hinge members 19 to nieve farther within the recess 16 and the slot 1T, permitting the socket members 15 ot' the hinge to pass the members 19 when it is desired to close the window. It will of course be seen from Fig. 1 of the drawings that the sash of the window may be raised independently of the hinge members 19. It will be noted that l may readily employ any number of the locking-bolts upon the body portion ot' the sash in order that the detachable member may be iirmly held in its place.

In Fig. 4 I have shown an angle-strip 2/ atthe slots 17 of theV y hinge members on the sash,

tached to the sash and in Fig. 5 have shown a short section 3' of an angle-strip attached to the removable portion of the sash-rail. Vhen this removable portion is in position on the sash, the section 3 alines with anglestrip 2', and the strip forms the shed member of the weather-strip, such as shown in my application tiled January 6, 1904, Serial No. 187,928, and fully described therein.

In the practice of the invention it will be evident that various slight changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of the invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with a window-frame carrying hinge members, a sash having hinge members on one of its vertical rails to be engaged with the hinge members of the frame, a detachable member secured to the other verticalrail of the sash, and means comprising nuts embedded in the detachable member, and bolts extending' through the vertical rail and detachable member and taking into the said nuts to secure the detachable member in position.

2. In a win dow-sash having hinge members l secured to one of its vertical rails, in combination with a frame, movable hinge members in the'frame adapted to be engaged with the a vertical strip arranged in a recess provided therefor in the frame and having slots extending diagonally Y of the strip, shatts carried bythe movable hinge members to engage 1n said slots, and a handle secured to the strip and projecting outside the frame for operating the strip to actuate the movable hinge members, substantially as described.

In testimony whereofl I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
